Neon Dust

[Intro]
[Verse]
The wipers clear the glass
Watch the city shadows pass
Tires hum a low-end bass
Searching for a familiar face
Wet asphalt glows in blue
I'm waiting here for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Three o’clock on the dot
In the same lonesome spot
You open the heavy door
Like you’ve been here before
[Chorus]
Neon dust on your sleeve
Hard to stay, hard to leave
We drift through the haze
In a velvet-lined maze
Just a ghost in my seat
On a rain-slicked street
[Post-Chorus]
Tape hiss and rain
Numbing the pain
Tape hiss and rain
Numbing the pain
[Verse]
You never say a word
Only silence can be heard
You fix your silver ring
Don't ask for anything
Your reflection in the chrome
Never heading for a home
[Hook]
Quietly watching you
What are you running to?
Quietly watching you
What are you running to?
[Bridge]
The organ swells like tide
Nowhere left for us to hide
The piano notes are cold
Stories left untold
Are you real or a dream?
Nothing's what it would seem
[Verse]
I see you check the time
Like silence is a crime
The meter ticks away
In a shade of charcoal grey
A cigarette unlit
Where you choose to sit
The sub-bass hits my chest
You're a secret I've kept best
[Chorus]
Neon dust on your sleeve
Hard to stay, hard to leave
We drift through the haze
In a velvet-lined maze
Just a ghost in my seat
On a rain-slicked street
[Post-Chorus]
Tape hiss and rain
Numbing the pain
Tape hiss and rain
Numbing the pain
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
Neon dust on your sleeve
Hard to stay, hard to leave
We drift through the haze
In a velvet-lined maze
Just a ghost in my seat
On a rain-slicked street
[Outro]
